business through the deal while starbucks is also in to supporting a jolt to its business artie's alex my hyla bitch is following the story in toronto alex thanks for being with what does this mean for nestle's and starbucks. well up for nestle's is a big deals the third biggest transaction in their one hundred fifty two year history so this means big business seven point one five billion dollars worth of investment to buy a part of starbucks is business so this is not like they're taking over starbucks far from it actually what they're doing is that they're getting distribution rights to starbucks proper products and also they will be manufacturing some of the stuff but it's everything from bad coffee to the capsules you know the ones you put in those little machines that's really a part of the business that nestle is looking at so it's a huge business obviously and what they're doing at the marketing aspect of this is kind of brilliant starbucks has a very very strong name arguably is the biggest name in coffee in the world so nestle is using this to their advantage as well as the twenty eight thousand
7:08 pm
starbucks stores around the world that those starbucks cafes that we're talking about they're not going to be bought by nestle that's still just starbucks has nothing to do with it but it's a great marketing vehicle so when you have the bricks and mortar operations all over the world it's a great thing just to have that name out there and of course the products are sold more easily with the advertise in such a great way beyond that you have to look at the fact that it bessie right now this is a great little graph to show you what nestle is fighting about for the nestle believe it or not is the biggest when it comes to coffee so the biggest player in retail coffee hold about twenty two point seven percent of the market share but it's their sales have been weak and their specially been struggling in the u.s. and starbucks is a mega power in the u.s. so for nestle this is a big deal moving forward for starbucks seven point one five billion dollars that's huge for them the company is worth forty four billion dollars but on top of that they will be also be getting royalties from nestle once these products go to into

7:12 pm
a week if i were you and then we also go out to drive events all over the globe it sounds like a good gig congratulations i told mr to hear terms so we look forward. talking with you more about it so on to tousle after last week's earnings call reporting that the first quarter earnings or lack there of tesla stock dropped five percent and it came back a little bit on friday but it raises some serious questions and you've been sort of a skeptic of tesla since the time we've been speaking but is wall street beginning to see some of the things the way you've been seeing them lauren william definitely during earnings call last literally just said that their questions were boring when analysts were asking serious questions because investors want to know where is the company going are you now using deposits and calling them income which he wasn't doing that before and that included for people who are purchasing service plans in advance so a lot of this stuff is changing the way he does his accounting which is not the generally accepted accounting principles known as g eight p.
7:13 pm
or gap so because of that they got questions but when he said they were boring and basically hung up on them in order to get it basically a blogger who was a big fan of the law and lost that's true a lot of red flags and that really cost him in the stock market they say he lost about a billion dollars in value but you remember eleven it says in the past it's in the past that the company is only as good as its leader and he even reference. that area a one two three and fisker in the past they failed because the leader was unable to keep and less happy so i think he may have stuck his foot in his mouth on that one sounds like it they spent it said in the end their q one four hundred million and that doesn't even include the cost of a quick minute which is more than sixty five million dollars plus the company has a debt due of one point three billion dollars so they're going to read the need to raise some more cash right. well he says he's not going to raise cast cash i don't know how he's going to do it i mean they've got huge shutdowns on the production
7:14 pm
floor they get the u.a.w. literally camped out across the street from the factory they're trying to get people to say they want the union in there if the union goes and has a cost per car is going to really increase dramatically which means a larger loss and he's already taking any car if it wasn't for his death credits and the carbon credits that he sells to other car manufacturers that are required to meet a certain standard or lot of seven credits he wouldn't have anything but if he fails if for some reason tesla does go bankrupt that will put such a black eye and south credits it could change the whole a layout of what we're buying and cars in general will that impact hybrids will that impact the infrastructure they're trying to build because consumers are only buying these vehicles because they're getting the state and federal tax credits those go away for whatever reason that could be even a bigger black eye for that portion of the industry and finally you know this year is the fiftieth anniversary of the love bug one nine hundred sixty eight film using that iconic sixty three v.w.

7:23 pm
favor of the deal we've heard russia and china speaking in favor of the iran nuclear deal but donald trump has long been a critic of the iran negotiations in the j.c. plea plus a plus one the j c b o a p five plus one nuclear conclusion this is some of the support for the deal that we've heard in the international community. that would be tougher on iran but not throw away that the heart of the deal. for you if i speak to respect this agreement and intend to stick to it whatever the american decision may be we will deal with the u.s. decision in turn to adhere to this agreement the deal we have in place now today the only existing deal for the moment he's working on that china will adopt a fair and responsible attitude to making further contributions to preserving and implementing the agreement. ok i do apologize when divorce connects with our correspondent caleb moore pin we
7:24 pm
will come back to him a little later in the hour now the iran nuclear agreement was reached by continue thousand and fifteen is between tehran and the five permanent members of the u.n. security council plus germany gauche ations to move the nine years and under the deal iran was obliged to limit its nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions and it trumps the scrap this agreement iran's president hinted that his country might continue to comply in any case he spoke to political analyst from hughes. i would do that one never. mind cop stops threatening or on the other little members which are all part of this greater collective or alternative city ron paul or hold on we've got your back let us for call and give them something and this is becoming more and more like it was this lee no matter what a very good all's it leaves an early one for them in israel at sixty in are used as leverage but i believe that they are creating the conditions were firstly the
7:25 pm
malaysian enemy there you clear. indication that they have these weapons of mass destruction through the least with. iran and indeed. has as sort of faith that they thought all nuclear capable of the world constitute but us that this is a chance to want to place an exit or ron. so if you're watching last hour i did say donald trump saying he was going to be here at the top of the hour didn't necessarily mean that he's very unpredictable in almost everything he does but the moment he turns up at the white house we'll go straight to him. and meantime the woman who don't try wants is his new director of the cia is set to be grilled by the senate the appointment of would be controversial as she's been implicated in the agency's so-called enhanced interrogation techniques details his artie's my guess the. trump's really pushing gina haskell is the
7:26 pm
perfect candidate strong really strong smart tough and with thirty years of judy behind her so why all the hate one highly respected nominee for cia director gina her support has come under because she was too tough on terrorists think of that in these very dangerous times we have the most qualified person a woman who democrats want out because she is too tough on terror when jeana tough and terrorists meaning she ran a secret cia detention center where she those under her reportedly tortured prisoners by the way the videotapes which allegedly documented some of the most horrific tortures were destroyed by the cia tough woman all right with years of experience in illegal and immoral torture and any other reasons to vouch for her
7:27 pm
there's no one more qualified to be the first woman to lead the cia than thirty plus years cia veteran gina has but any democrat who claims to support women's empowerment and our national security but opposes her nomination is a total hypocrite. interesting how someone's gender is now a factor when selecting a new cia head great argument as well that's like telling all black people all white people to only vote for the candidate of their skin color and people aren't buying that argument torture sarah to choose the reasons why she's not qualified if you ridiculous trump loving idiots feminism is about ensuring that women have the same rights and opportunities as man it also means holding women as accountable as man i oppose any torture of male or female for cia director that's like saying if you claim to be a group monkey but refused to eat one of jack the ripper is prime cuts of meats
7:28 pm
you're a hypocrite women's empowerment is about getting their rights women nominated for the job not just one with seniority now gina who apparently had no problem torturing tied up suspects is allegedly squeamish about the confirmation hearing all those tough questions and in public might prove too much but trump has her back don't tell me it doesn't work to what your works ok folks tortured but you know i have these go torture doesn't work believe me it works ok trump was applauded for that and many are of course against haskell and for their troubles their targeted with this president trump is nominated hospitalise the cia but rand paul is opposing her confirmation falsely accusing her of torturing good luck trying to appease a big assed bull did exactly what our country asked of her and what was necessary to keep us safe call rep with mine to washington to represent us.
7:29 pm
fortunately those resisting on capitol hill alone one hundred nine retired generals and admirals have urged the u.s. senate to reconsider given her ties to you know torture. during human beings as a retired general and flag officers of the united states military we are deeply troubled by the prospect of someone who appears to have been intimately involved in torture being elevated to one of the most important positions of leadership in the intelligence community with this much opposition to gina has balls nomination the job is still far off but make no mistake if the former torturer gets the job despite everything many many people will cheer and applaud. workers at the museum of the former nazi death camp auschwitz say that they've become the target of a hate campaign waged by polish nationalists they're also concerned about an
7:30 pm
increase in anti semitic incidents most recently the home of an italian guide at the museum was vandalized with swastikas and xenophobic slogans they included poland for the poles and only polish guides in auschwitz polish nationalists have accused officials at the side of downplaying the deaths of naam jewish prisoners at the camp. what we hear is that people who died here mostly were jews that's a lie let me speak and so it is the government of israel and jews polish jews especially our attacking us they make us look bad. auschwitz museum officials deny claims that they have underrepresented the deaths of polish jews and also say that workers have been the target of online harassment and fake news reportedly incited by nationalists and that coincides with the introduction of poland's new holocaust speech law it was passed this year and it bans any claims that the country.
